Ship to Paradise

Neuman’s Ship to Paradise series is a modern take on Sebastian Brandt’s medieval best-seller Shype of Fooles. Prints in the series chronicle topsy-turvy medieval barques, manned by literal skeleton crews, sailing on an existential sea in search of paradise. This series rewards close looking. See what you can spot among the baggage carried by these motley crews as they hitch a ride on a cosmic wave.

Works from this series are in the collections of Bates College Museum of Art, Currier Museum of Art, Duxbury Art Complex, Heckscher Museum of Art, and Thorne-Sagendorph Art Gallery at Keene State College.
